    It's without doubt that money came in from outside the club and despite LB's claims that it was his, I think you can be certain it wasn't.

    His "deal is off" statement was obviously a last gasp attempt to stop the real owners from relinquishing control. Fortunately without his own cash and a handful of specialist lawyers he really didn't have a chance.

    This does beg the question who it really was spending large sums on improving the infrastructure at the club? My guess is the Pozzo's themselves or maybe SEJ has stepped in to rescue the club anonymously.

    One thing I won't do is credit our rescue to Bassini. "Potless and phoney" is how he's been described by Senior Watford officials apparently and who am I to disagree?
    Very True Bringe,
    He has not put 1penny into the club(including purchase).These idiots who think he saved the club and got it back on steady ground are deluded clappers.
    We can all spend other peoples money.
    It's ok though, Bas can go back to one of his many companies he runs(just dont ask him or companies house what they are called)"

Watford confirm takeover talks with the Pozzo family are 'progressing nicely'

The Hornets have released a statement confirming takeover talks with the Pozzo family are “progressing nicely” despite claims the deal was off earlier this afternoon owner by Laurence Bassini.

The Hornets owner rang the Watford Observer this afternoon to state the deal was “definitely off “.

However, sources subsequently told us that was not the case and that talks were “going well”.

And Watford have now released a statement confirming that is the case.

It read: “Despite recent remarks, the deal for the sale of Watford FC to the Pozzo family is progressing nicely.

“There is no issue with funds and both parties are hoping to conclude shortly.”
